Who Sox
With the outfield set, rotation looking to be set, and even SS is pretty much a done deal, the major spot left is DH.
Spring of course is the biggest thing we have to qualify but we can still try to account for their age and previous experiences in majors or minors
I'm thinking so far the race looks like
1. Avisail Garcia (spring numbers from new stance too strong, but no clue if it'll carry over
2. Matt Davidson (if he can't play 3rd, at least let him have the chance to utilize that power)
3. Travis Ishikawa (maybe, but he'll be more like a backup 1B)
4. Jerry Sands (unlikely but has shown some power)
5. Coats/May/Sanchez (all unlikely and would better serve as backup or developing future position players)
Or maybe there'll be a mystery signing before the season begins but more than likely not. If avi falters, could be very likely to use ladunns 13m to aid in getting a good hitter by the trade deadline.
So still a very strange and contentious position for us. Really not quite sure what the answer is or should be.

the creator of this hat rightfully deserves to be shot
At least the two teams in New York, LA, Chicago, and DC hate each other through and through. The Bay Area is just sad when it comes to loyalty. In football, the cholos who rooted for the Raiders in the past became 49ers fans during the Harbaugh era, and now they're back to being Raiders thugs. Even in Sacramento, there's a spring of Dubsfags lately. It's disgusting.

To be honest, I just found the anime kind of boring (don't know if the manga is better). I quit during the last game in the first Summer. I thought it would talk more about baseball strategy and stuff rather than "S...so fast!" and "You can't see his arm!"

I hope the manga/anime continues into the NPB.
Sawamura has way more potential because of his control and pitch variety. Furuya won't be able to do shit because he;s so one dimensional
hopefully when they get to year three, Sawamura and Furuya will be dueling it out for the ace spot instead of Sawamura getting stuck with #18

they lost twice to the marlins
>>66448951
Gonna be a bad year for the Braves, they're rebuilding and trying to git gud for next year but it's more likely gonna be 2019. Almost a worse time to be a Pirates fan though because they just got gud for the first time in 20 years a few seasons ago at the same time 2 teams in the same division got gudder
>>66449147
